Ephesians 6:1-9

1ChildrenG5043, obeyG5219 your parentsG1118 in the LordG2962: for this isG1510 rightG1342. 2HonorG5091 thy fatherG3962 and motherG3384 (which isG1510 the firstG4413 commandmentG1785 with promiseG1860), 3that it may beG1510 well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earthG1093. 4And, ye fathersG3962, provoke not your childrenG5043 to wrath: but nurture them in the chastening and admonition of the LordG2962.

5ServantsG1401, be obedientG5219 unto them that accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561 are your mastersG2962, with fearG5401 and trembling, in singleness of your heartG2588, as unto ChristG5547; 6not in the way of eyeserviceG3787, as men-pleasers; but as servantsG1401 of ChristG5547, doing the will of GodG2316 from the heart; 7with good will doing service, as unto the LordG2962, and not unto menG444: 8knowing that whatsoever goodG18 thingG18 each oneG5100 doeth, the same shall he receiveG2865 again from the LordG2962, whether he be bond or freeG1658. 9And, ye mastersG2962, do the sameG846 things unto them, and forbear threatening: knowing that he who isG1510 both their MasterG2962 and yours isG1510 in heavenG3772, and there isG1510 no respect of persons with him.
